I’m unsure whether I should start papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
This content is machine-translated.
The reason is that I don’t want to do anything beyond holding hands. I’d like to eat together, talk, have drinks, watch a movie, go karaoke—anything is fine as long as we can enjoy spending time together.
But men are looking for sex, aren’t they? I don’t even want to kiss. A peck on the cheek might be okay…
Do you think a woman like me can do papa-katsu? Are there any papa (male supporter) members who are 100% not looking for sex?
I think you’d be better off working as a “rental girlfriend.”
As far as I know, men generally aren’t allowed to touch the women. Holding hands might be allowed, though. Since you can apparently earn around ¥5,000 an hour, an eight-hour date at Disney could bring in ¥40,000 in a day, which is a fairly decent income.
That said, naturally, you have to be someone they’d want to see again—even if it’s just for a date. Otherwise, you might register but never actually get chosen for any dates.
Still, a rental girlfriend service seems to fit what you’re looking for.
Even if you’re not suited to a dating club, you might be popular as a rental girlfriend. I’m not sure where you’d really thrive.
If you look into it more, you may find other options that suit you as well.

They probably exist, but I think they’re in the minority. The competition is several times tougher than at Universe, but you’ll find more men like that at paid drinking parties.

It’s pretty presumptuous to think you can do papa-katsu that way—expecting an allowance from your papa without offering anything in return.
Without anything resembling what people in a romantic or lover-type relationship would do, what exactly can you offer in exchange for payment? Would simply looking at your beauty be soothing enough, or are your conversational skills alone worth paying for? If so, you might as well try going to an interview.
Even if you manage to register, you’ll be classified as Type A, so unless your first impression and unique appeal really resonate with men, you won’t receive any offers. And since you’re in your 30s, I imagine men will be looking for comfort that includes an adult relationship (intimate), too.
If you just want to eat, drink, and go karaoke, do that with your friends.

The chances of finding someone willing to go as far as sex are probably about the same as when a man approaches women—maybe one out of 100 attempts.
Assuming you have an average appearance, if you keep trying and patiently wait for offers, you may find a papa (a male supporter) who’s okay with no sex.
Just as being handsome increases a man’s chances of having sex, if you’re attractive, good at conversation, and have a pleasant vibe, you may find such a papa faster than a woman with an average appearance.
First, register here as an A. Then sign up for every papa-katsu site and app you can find. If you don’t get any offers, try matching apps or looking through paid-drinking meetups.
If you still can’t find anyone, post that you’re looking on social media yourself. Good luck! If you don’t give up, you might find someone.

> A papa who’s 100% not looking for sex
may exist, but
at clubs where they even charge a membership fee, most men are looking for an adult relationship (intimate).
> If you mean 100% no sex,
then I think it’s possible to meet someone through places that don’t charge membership or introduction fees.

Generally, if you’re Type A, that’s what it amounts to, but that’s not what the club is looking for.
If you think you’re on par with Satomi Ishihara, Yui Aragaki, and Masami Nagasawa, go ahead and attend the interview.

Very rarely, you may come across men like that, but generally speaking, it’s difficult to meet only that type of man.
Even if you signed up, things probably wouldn’t go the way you hope, and you’d only end up frustrated.
I don’t think you should sign up.
